Sosa's reputation suffered after his bat shattered in a June 2003 game against Devil Rays n' it was found to have cork in middle. Some of his bats donated to Hall of Fame were even X-rayed for evidence of cork, though none was found.

Here are some NBA Draft Steals of years past John Stockton, Utah Jazz | No. 16 -- 1st round, 1984 Michael Jordan (3rd pick in 1984) n' Larry Bird (6th pick in 197 cool easily could headline this list, but focus here is on high-impact players chosen in middle of 1st round or later. There's no better example of this than what Jazz did with 16th n' 13th picks in consecutive years. Utah parlayed those selections into 2 of finest players to play their positions, startin' with Stockton, NBA's all-time leader in assists n' steals.
